[Inkscape-board] [REFERENDUM] 2019 Budget

[Bryce Harrington]

 |   | $6,144 |  | $4,000 |
 | Trademarks reg fees | $1,275.00 ||   $0 ||
 | Trademark legal |   $300.00 ||   $0 ||
 | Legal action|   $800.00 ||   $0 ||
 | Bank Fees   | $3,754.39 ||$4000 ||
 | Misc| $   14.85 ||   $0 ||

Like in FY2018, 2019 will also see two hackfests, but these will be done
in conjunction with LGM and SCALE events which should make more
efficient use of our funds, even though overall event attendance is
likely to grow larger.

The board has expressed an interest in seeing Inkscape attendance at
more events, especially for speakers on Inkscape-related topics; this
budget increases our funding pool by $3000 to a total of $4965
available.

The new Vectors team is very active and will be increasing.  They are
planning use of their budget for printing of handouts and signage for
technical events.  This budget increases their funding pool to $1000.
The board will continue to review and approve expenditures as normal.

A contract for development of Ansible scripted Mailman3 installation was
completed and paid in FY2018, enabling the Inkscape project to move from
Sourceforge mailing list hosting to self-hosted services in 2019.


As a final note, I've been working on creating scripts to present our
budget data and summarize it in a way that helps the board make more
sense of the numbers.  Unfortunately, there's a lot of idiosyncracies in
our ledger records (multi-currency conversions, tardy reimbursements,
event miscategorization, variations in how expenses are summed up from
event to event, etc.) that are tricky to account for, and hard to
process mechanically (I sometimes have to rely on contextual information
to figure out where each ledger post belongs).  Since I've run low on
time to get the scripting smart enough, I've set that aside and done it
manually; oh well, maybe next year.  So, the data is correct to the best
of my abilities, and I'll just have to apologize if I've overlooked an
item or miscalculated.

Actually, the process is fully scripted to do all the lists
simultaneously, so it's easiest if we do them all at once.  There's
really only 6 lists being migrated (and 2 new lists).

I guess the main question here is whether we should auto-subscribe
people, or if it's better to just let them sign up themselves.  The
downside for the latter is we'll probably end up with a smaller number
of participants in the lists, but it will make the transition simpler on
our end.  A lot of people are pretty inactive on the lists so it may not
be a bad thing to trim.

Interested in hearing other people's opinions though.

Initially I had agreed, but having gone through this process there's
a lot of stuff that is particular to the host and distro version, that
may make the playbook of use only as a reference.  Generalizing it to
suit other projects would take a bit of effort that I'm not sure has a
high enough return value.  Also, Recena had some concerns about making
infrastructure configurations too public, for security reasons.  So, I
don't think publicizing this playbook is worth doing.  But we could
certainly share it project-to-project if there are specific people
interested.

[Inkscape-board] Opinions needed - Past board referendums - online?

[Bryce Harrington]

Hi all,

I've been collecting our board votes into a private gitlab repository:

  https://gitlab.com/inkscape-board/documents

Currently, this is not accessible to the general public, just members of
the inkscape-board team.  You all should be able to look at what's
there.

My question is if we should make the past referendums publically visible
(for increased public transparency) or keep them as private?  (Or
something else?)

There are sometimes cases where we want to share the details about a
referendum with various people.  However, I'm not sure whether or not it
is desireable to have our actual votes public.  Also, occasionally we
vote on things (e.g. trademark issues) that we don't want public.

What do you guys think?  Is there value in making past referendums
publically visible?  If so, should we show or hide our votes?  And
should we include mechanisms to filter public vs. private votes from
being visible?  Or just keep everything private?

[Inkscape-board] Status update on mailman3 rollout

[Bryce Harrington]

tldr; Good news - I think it's time to plan moving to the new mailing
list software.


Mailman3 is up and operating at lists.inkscape.org, including imports of
our list archives, current as of yesterday.  All major issues have been
resolved, and remaining work is just cosmetics.

While we're not quite to 100% yet I wanted to give the board a summary
of what's been done and what's to come.  You can take a look here:

  https://lists.inkscape.org

First, the packaging, configuration, and deployment of mailman3 and its
dependencies has been scripted in Ansible.  This is now quite solid.
Ian has been moving mountains to make this work smoothly..

Second is the mailing list configs.  This is a one-time step, but I've
scripted this too, using mailman3's REST api.  We'll eventually need
moderators identified for each list to handle spam and list admin
requests but I can handle this initially.

Third, I've closed some lists that aren't going to be migrated.  I
haven't closed the inkscape-user-{LN}@ lists yet, but let them know
we'll be merging them into inkscape-user@ going forward since their
traffic has been negligible the past few years.

Fourth, the list archives.  The SF archives didn't import cleanly at
first, but I've patched hyperkitty's importer and dealt with each of the
problems, and they're importing cleanly now.  I'll do a new import once
we're ready to cut over officially.  SF munges the email addresses,
which is why the gravatars aren't showing up correctly.  It should be
possible to un-munge at least the more frequent posters.

There are some other cosmetic bits to polish up the UI; this is all
stuff that can be done post-rollout; I'll work on them as I have
time, for now.

The main still-missing piece is a backup solution.  This isn't critical
to do pre-release, but it is the topmost item in the todo list.



The "rollout" of the new lists will be as simple as just asking people
to sign up for the new lists and stop posting things on the old one.
I'll do a fresh reimport of the archives at the time the email goes out.

People will need to re-subscribe, since SourceForge does not provide
subscription lists any more.

Because of that, I'll send out a notice to each of the lists summarizing
the changeover.  I'll do that a week or two before the switch.

And before that (probably in a few days) I'll send out a summary to the
inkscape-devel@ list similar to this one, that describes the technicals,
so the development team knows what's happening.

Meanwhile, let me know if there are any questions, or issues you want to
see addressed before we move forward.  Otherwise, please look forward to
our spiffy new mailing list software.  :-)

[Inkscape-board] [REFERENDUM] Resolved: Booth materials for Saarbrücken

[Bryce Harrington]

Resolution:
---
Reimburse Maren Hachmann up to a limit of 200 € the cost of producing
and shipping materials to supply a booth Inkscape will be hosting in
Saarbrücken in association with our attendance at LGM and a hackfest.

Approved materials include business cards, stickers, one rollup banner,
and packaging and shipping of these items to the event.  Some leeway is
granted for covering items of a similar nature, such as handout
literature or other minor booth decorations for example, but include an
explanation of their booth purpose.

Receipts or invoices for each item and shipping charge should be
collected and submitted to SFC according to their reimbursement policy:

  https://sfconservancy.org/projects/policies/conservancy-travel-policy.html


Proposal:
-
A majority vote of the current board members is required for the
following matter.

Reimburse Maren Hachmann up to a limit of 200 € the cost of producing
materials to supply a booth Inkscape will be hosting in Saarbrücken
in association with our attendance at LGM and a hackfest.

 - [ ]  a.  Yes, reimburse Maren Hachmann up to 200 €.
 - [ ]  b.  No
 - [ ]  c.  Other:

| Chris Rogers | a. |

Background:
---
Following the SCaLE event, we brainstormed ways to improve our
conference booth presence:

  https://gitlab.com/inkscape/vectors/general/issues/111

We will have another booth opportunity, associated with our next
hackfest in Saarbrücken.  We expect this may be a smaller event, and
thus may be an excellent opportunity to experiment with new designs.  A
gitlab issue for tracking the materials to procure, and designs under
development is at:

  https://gitlab.com/inkscape/vectors/general/issues/112

The rollup banner will be a copy of the one made for SCALE, to be kept
in Europe for events located there.  The original banner was printed for
about $80 (apprx 72 €), and we estimate the cost of printing a
B1-certified banner to run 50 - 70 € depending on size.

For a previous SCALE event, we had budgeted $80 for hand-out materials
including mini-stickers and mini-cards.

Estimates for basic business cards are about 10 € for 250, but we intend
to go a bit upscale so are budgeting 20 €.

Stickers (20 sheets A4) are estimated as 60 €, which should cover the
event needs with some left over for future events.

Materials will be shipped to Tobias Ellinghaus' workplace in Saarbrüken.
He is our local contact for the event and will hold the materials for us
until the event takes place.  We don't have an estimate for the shipping
costs but are budgeting 20 €.

30 € will be budgeted for printing of additional literature or handouts,
or to cover cost overages in any of the above items.

Leftover items will also be used as give-aways at the LGM conference.
Remaining items will be retained by Inkscape attendees to distribute at
future events at their prerogative.

| Item| Estimate |
| --- | :--: |
| Rollup banner   |  80 €|
| Stickers|  60 €|
| Business cards  |  10 €|
| Shipping|  20 €|
| Other   |  30 €|
| --- |  |
| Total:  | 200 €|


Maren Hachmann will be responsible for coordinating the printing and
shipping, and thus will be the authorized reimbursee for this.

If no one has an objection, I'm going to add Cedric Gemy to the list;
he's a partner of Elisa, and has been an inkscape contributor himself.

[Inkscape-board] [REFERENDUM] Attendees at Saarbrücken hackfest

Voting is needed on funding for sponsorship of attendees at the Saarbrücken

 - [ ] c.  No, do not fund.


2.  Board-sponsored Dinner (revision).  The Inkscape Board will fund a
dinner out for Hackfest attendees and their guests.  An estimated 20
people averaging 30 € each gives a budget of 600 €.

 - [ ] a.  Yes, for estimated cost of up to 600 €.
 - [ ] b.  Recommend a change:  ___
 - [ ] c.  No, do not fund.

Resolution:

Background:
---
This referendum updates an earlier vote on this issue, to identify the
travelers and to update the Board sponsored dinner now that we have a
better estimate on attendance numbers.

Some of the listed individuals are not certain if they will be
attending, so our actual list may be smaller.

All travelers must adhere to the SFC's travel requirements, which
they'll be notified about separately.

Additional attendees may be added subsequently, but this is the
comprehensive list known as of today.

Resolution:

Background:
---
Following the SCaLE event, we brainstormed ways to improve our
conference booth presence:

  https://gitlab.com/inkscape/vectors/general/issues/111

We will have another booth opportunity, associated with our next
hackfest in Saarbrücken.  We expect this may be a smaller event, and
thus may be an excellent opportunity to experiment with new designs.  A
gitlab issue for tracking the materials to procure, and designs under
development is at:

  https://gitlab.com/inkscape/vectors/general/issues/112

The rollup banner will be a copy of the one made for SCALE, to be kept
in Europe for events located there.  The original banner was printed for
about $80 (apprx 72 €), and we estimate the cost of printing a
B1-certified banner to run 50 - 70 € depending on size.

For a previous SCALE event, we had budgeted $80 for hand-out materials
including mini-stickers and mini-cards.  

Estimates for basic business cards are about 10 € for 250, but we intend
to go a bit upscale so are budgeting 20 €.

Stickers (20 sheets A4) are estimated as 60 €, which should cover the
event needs with some left over for future events.

Materials will be shipped to Tobias Ellinghaus' workplace in Saarbrüken.
He is our local contact for the event and will hold the materials for us
until the event takes place.  We don't have an estimate for the shipping
costs but are budgeting 20 €.

30 € will be budgeted for printing of additional literature or handouts,
or to cover cost overages in any of the above items.

Leftover items will also be used as give-aways at the LGM conference.
Remaining items will be retained by Inkscape attendees to distribute at
future events at their prerogative.

| Item| Estimate |
| --- | :--: |
| Rollup banner   |  70 €|
| Stickers|  60 €|
| Business cards  |  20 €|
| Shipping|  20 €|
| Other   |  30 €|
| --- |  |
| Total:  | 200 €|


Maren Hachmann will be responsible for coordinating the printing and
shipping, and thus will be the authorized reimbursee for this.

Re: [Inkscape-board] Outreachy

[Bryce Harrington]

Good news - SFC has generated the paypal button and we're ready to go.
Next step is to write up a short web page with the donation button on
it, explaining how it'll be used:

  https://gitlab.com/inkscape/vectors/content/issues/52

Máirín, can you assign yourself issue, and work on drafting the content?
There are also several people on the Vectors team that help with
drafting content, and have expressed interest in assisting getting
Outreachy set up, so they may be able to help with legwork if you give
them direction.

Thanks, and good luck!
Bryce

Re: [Inkscape-board] [REFERENDUM] Saarbrüken Hackfest 2019 Funding

[Bryce Harrington]

Resolution:
---
Inkscape will be reimbursing travel expenses for individuals attending the
hackfest and Libre Graphics Meeting in Saarbrücken, Germany in May 2019.
This will cover transportation, lodging, and food costs following the
reimbursement rules specified by the Software Conservancy.

The exact list of approved attendees is still to be determined, but we
expect it will be in the range of 5-15 individuals, as has been typical
in past events.  A second vote will be held to approve specific
travelers, and their names and email addresses will be communicated to
Conservancy at that time.  A listing of prospective invitees is
available at:
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2019_Saarbr%C3%BCcken_Attendees

The board will sponsor a dinner out for Hackfest attendees and their
guests for up to 300 € total.  (If the number of confirmed attendees
exceeds 10, the board may increase this amount in a future vote.)

The event host will ensure there are snacks and beverages, and procure other
incidentals as needed for attendees.  They will be reimbursed for up to a
total of 100 €.

Certainly A and C are not incompatible, but one or the other needs to be
primary:

With option A, leaving the decision (and management) to the Vectors
team, they certainly could choose to have it as a project owned resource
that they manage.  Sort of analogous to how booth materials have been
handled.

Option C would keep the management duty at the board level, so one of us
(or one of our delegates) would need to be keeping track of the
material, and Vectors would need to coordinate usage with us.

Ted made some good points about the value of delegating authority, and
strengthening team-level decision making, that option A fits with.

Re: [Inkscape-board] [RESOLUTION] Participation in Outreachy and authorization for fundraising

[Bryce Harrington]

Hi Brett,

In discussion with additional board members, this phrasing was
suggested, and board members feel this would more accurately reflect the
aim for the fund:

  "Inkscape fund for improving contributors diversity"

Brett, we've also discussed Marc's suggested wording and think it is a
better representation of the aim for this.  (Sorry, I didn't receive his
email until after I posted my reply.)

Interesting, I wonder if they prohibit development funding because they
have parter companies that provide employment for the developers?  What
about their approach are you finding admirable?

Blender is another peer project folks bring up a lot.  They seem to have
things extremely well organized, and I'm quite impressed with the
quantity of recurring income they're getting:

  https://fund.blender.org/

I'd like to better understand how they've done this and how we might be
able to replicate.  It would be great if we could be looking to have
5-10 developers funded full time (plus the infrastructure and other
stuff you mentioned.)

I've added it to our fundrasing ideas page:

  http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Fundraising_Ideas#Instructional_Videos

Tutorials given by professional artists or highly experience Inkscape
users might also be something to consider.  Andy Fitzsimon gave a really
good presentation at the first LGM, and it was amazing, and inspiring.

Sounds like maybe we need the corollary to the Fundraising Ideas page,
but for expenditures.

I only expect an initial indication of interest in renewing within the
week, you're right sometimes payment can take a while.

Also, even if the week passes, it doesn't mean that they can't renew
later on, just that their logo won't be shown on the website in the
interim.

Yeah no kidding.  :-)

But these particular values line up well with other organization
sponsorship levels, so at least will not be of surprise.

We had $23,313 in expenses for FY2018, so we've kept the spending side
up pretty well.  That said, there's only so much hackfesting we can
practically do in a given year, and you're right we should do some
brainstorming.

Funded development work (e.g. contract programming work) would be a
logical thing to think about, and several of our sponsors have expressed
interest here in supplying additional funds depending on what we
undertake.  There's a non-trivial amount of overhead work needed for
doing contract management, though.

It might be worthwhile for us to take a look at some of our peer
projects at SFC and see how others are using their funding.

[Inkscape-board] [RESOLUTION] Bug Migration Recognition

[Bryce Harrington]

Resolution:
---

Chris Rogers is authorized for reimbursement up to 200€ for printing of
stickers, and for postage to send stickers to recipients of selected
participants of Inkscape's bug migration effort.

Receipts for sticker printing and postage/shipping will be collected and
provided to Conservancy as necessary for reimbursement requests.


Proposal:
-
Authorize reimbursement to Chris Rogers for purchasing and shipping
stickers, up to a limit of £200.

 - [ ]  a.  Authorize reimbursement for up to £200.
 - [ ]  b.  Do not authorize reimbursement
 - [ ]  c.  Other _

| Martin Owens | a. |
| Marc Jeanmougin  | a. |
| Chris Rogers | *  |

* - Recused

Background:
---
The Inkscape project is transitioning its collection of (over 5000) bug
reports from Launchpad to Gitlab.  In order to cleanup the collection
we are recruiting triagers to assist in re-reproducing each of the bugs
and improving the reports.  To give recognition to the best participants
in this effort, we will be printing and sending stickers to selected
individuals based on performance criteria.

Receipts for sticker printing and postage/shipping will be collected and
provided to Conservancy as necessary for reimbursement requests.

Can I get approval for £200 for stickers+ shipping? I'll of course try to

[Inkscape-board] Sponsorship updates

[Bryce Harrington]

Hi all,

Just wanted to braindump some news & notes about sponsorship.

1. First, today we've gained one new Bronze Stylus sponsor, icons8.com.
Yay!


2. A second sponsor is in the works, we're just waiting on Conservancy for
processing, and should be annnounceable soon.


3. I have sent out renewal reminders to our current sponsors that have hit
their expiration date.  I figure we should give them a week to reply
before retiring their entries from the sponsor page.


4. Should we think about increasing our Bronze sponsorship level?

Today SFC told me that they don't like to bother invoicing amounts below
$1000, which makes things a bit difficult if our Bronze sponsors want
invoices.  So moving Bronze to $1000 may make sense just for accounting
purposes.


5. Is it time to add a Diamond level?

When we set up the sponsorship levels, we originally included a Diamond
level, but were not sure what amount it should be and decided we'd leave
it out and revisit when it seemed plausible that we might get one.
Given that we have two platinum sponsors currently, it seems plausible
now.  What do others think?


6. Do we want to increase other sponsorship levels?

I'm guessing no, but if the board thinks we should this might be a good
time to do so.  We may want to do some TBD grandfathering of existing
sponsors.


7. In order to improve our tracking of sponsors a little, I've added a
private "Financial" sub-group to inkscape-board in gitlab, with a
"sponsors" project under it:

  https://gitlab.com/inkscape-board/financial/sponsors/issues

I figure we can use the issues tracker with each issue used for a
separate sponsor.  I'm treating the issue description as a
semi-structured data record in YAML format, in case some day we want to
tack on tools or integrate with other stuff.  For now though it'll just
be maintained manually, but this should hopefully permit >1 bus factor
on sponsor management.

Since Financial is a sub-group of the board, it is possible to add other
highly trusted but non-board people to only this group.  I've added
Maren since due to her heavy involvement in sponsors and other financial
matters in the past.


8. I have also added a Legal sub-group to inkscape-board, with a project
for focusing on branding issues like trademark infringement
investigations.  This is also a private group, so only visible to board
members plus trusted non-board people.  I've added Pamela Chestek and
Denver Gingerich, who are Conservancy lawyers that have worked with us
on some of these issues in the past.

Re: [Inkscape-board] [REFERENDUM] Univention Summit travel for Maren Hachmann

[Bryce Harrington]

Resolution:
---
Maren Hachmann is authorized to travel to Bremen to accept an award on
Inkscape's behalf.  Travel will be reimbursed as per Conservancy policy,
up to a capped amount of 100 €.


Proposal:
-
A majority vote of the current board members is required for the
following matter.

The Univention Summit selected Inkscape as one of its top 3 finishers
for an award to be announced in Brennen on Jan 31st.  Maren Hachmann has
volunteered to attend the conference to accept the award on Inkscape's
behalf.

 - [ ]  a.  Reimburse travel by car to the event, estimated to be 55 €
 - [ ]  b.  Other:  Reimburse travel by car, capped to 100 €
 - [ ]  c.  Do not fund travel

| Martin Owens | b. |
| Marc Jeanmougin  | b. |

Background:

Estimate of costs for travel to and from the event by car:

  distance: 227 km * 2 = 504 km (313 miles) [1]
  standard (charity) mileage rate (2018): 14 ¢/mi [2]
  car transportaation:  38.41 €  ($48.82)
  parking for 9 hours:  12 €
  lunch for 1 person:  ~ 5 €
  --
  55.41 €

Univention invited two attendees for the event, but Maren was unable to
recruit a second from the project.  However, her fiancé can accompany
her.

For comparison, round-trip bus tickets for Kiel-Bremen are 20 € per
person. plus parking and lunch.

Ted's proposal of capping at 100 € sounds good to me as well.

Resolution:
---

Background:
---
Estimate of costs for travel to and from the event by car:

  distance: 227 km * 2 = 504 km (313 miles) [1]
  standard (charity) mileage rate (2018): 14 ¢/mi [2]
  car transportaation:  38.41 €  ($48.82)
  parking for 9 hours:  12 €
  lunch for 1 person:  ~ 5 €
  --
  55.41 €

Univention invited two attendees for the event, but Maren was unable to
recruit a second from the project.  However, her fiancé can accompany
her.

For comparison, round-trip bus tickets for Kiel-Bremen are 20 € per
person. plus 10-16 € parking and 5 € lunch.

Thanks,

Ground transportation is considered fine, but the policy explicitly
states that car rental requires special authorization.  In context I
think they're referring to local transportation at the destination, as
opposed to the travel *to* the destination as Ryan is doing.

So I might be overly cautious here but figure we should cover the bases.
Once this vote is resolved I'm also going to raise it more directly with
Conservancy to hopefully ensure everything goes smoothly for Ryan.

Re: [Inkscape-board] [Inkscape-devel] Hackfest in Germany (May 2019)

[Bryce Harrington]

We have been thinking of doing a hackfest prior to or after LGM, however
to do so we'd need to have a venue to meet at, ideally someplace in
Saarbruecken (or possibly even the same place[1] as the LGM conf).

Does anyone have a place to propose?  If so, we can try and nail things
down at the next board meeting.  We'll need a volunteer to get in
contact with the venue and make the arrangements.

If we don't have a separate Hackfest venue identified by the board
meeting, what we'll do instead is still sponsor attendance at LGM, but
won't have a separate hackfest.  Attendees can arrange to meet ad hoc
for discussions as fits their schedules during the conference as they
wish.

In that case I'll drop the task.  If someone gets an interest in doing
outreachy we can figure out how to track it better.

Maybe if progress at setting up a new forum becomes visible, it'll
motivate getting the data to us.  Maybe focus on implementing option A
but leave open the possibility of replanningif the data shows up.

[Inkscape-board] [REFERENDUM] Participation in Outreachy and authorization for fundraising

[Bryce Harrington]

A majority vote of the current board members is required for the
following matter.

Proposal:
-

Shall Inkscape participate in the Outreachy internship program, and
allow the earmarking of donations for funding one or more Outreachy
slots?


 - [ ]  a.  Yes, participate in Outreachy and allow collection of
donations to fund one or more internship slots.
 - [ ]  b.  No, do not participate in Outreachy at this time.
 - [ ]  c.  Other ___

Resolution:
---

Background:
---

At the Boston hackfest Máirín Duffy suggested Inkscape participate in
the Outreachy internship program, and offered to help with organizing
and fundraising for it.  We discussed it in detail at the board
meetings, but I don't think we formally voted on it.  Conservancy
requires a formal vote for moving forward with collection of donations
for us.

One way Outreachy appears to differ from the GSoC program is that
funding must be arranged by the mentoring organization.  Máirín believes
that adequate external funding can be secured for Inkscape, to cover at
least one student.  With the Inkscape Committee's approval, Conservancy
will create a Donate button to receive and earmark funds to be used for
the Outreachy slot.

At this time it is assumed the cost of the Outreachy participation will
be covered entirely by the earmarked donations.  If it becomes
desireable in the future for Inkscape to cover portions of the
internship cost, a separate vote will be done.

Hi all!

I assume we want to renew all of these? Please let me know if the PLC 
authorizes the trademark office fees of $1,275 (we foot the lawyer time 
for renewals as we do with the initial stages of trademark defense).

karen

Re: Renewal of DRAW FREELY,  INKSCAPE and Inkscape Logo

Deadline: 25 Aug 2019

Dear Karen,

Software Freedom Conservancy has previously registered the trademarks
referenced below for use with goods in class 9:

TRADEMARK

REGISTRATION NUMBER

REGISTRATION DATE

CLASSES & GOODS (TABLE)

DRAW FREELY.

3672956

25 Aug 2009

9 - Computer graphics software; Downloadable computer software for
vector graphics editing

INKSCAPE

3672917

25 Aug 2009

9 - Downloadable computer software for editing vector graphics

INKSCAPE LOGO

3672907

25 Aug 2009

9 - Downloadable computer software for editing vector graphics

The window for renewing these trademark registrations is now open. The
renewals can be filed anytime between now and the final deadline of 25
Aug 2019, and there is also a six-month grace period for renewing. It
is, however, our suggestion that you renew it as soon as possible, in
order to have time to address any problems that might arise in the
renewal process.

To renew, we will need a "specimen" showing that the trademark is used
on the goods described above. We have attached a screenshot from your
website which we believe will be an acceptable specimen for renewal of
all three registrations.

Please let us know if you would like for us to proceed with renewing
these registrations with the attached specimen. The Trademark Office
renewal fee is $425 per registration ($1,275 total). If you have any
questions, please let us know.

Best regards,

Anne

Hi all!

Dear Karen,

Software Freedom Conservancy has previously registered the trademarks
referenced below for use with goods in class 9:

TRADEMARK

REGISTRATION NUMBER

REGISTRATION DATE

CLASSES & GOODS (TABLE)

DRAW FREELY.

3672956

25 Aug 2009

9 - Computer graphics software; Downloadable computer software for
vector graphics editing

INKSCAPE

3672917

25 Aug 2009

9 - Downloadable computer software for editing vector graphics

INKSCAPE LOGO

3672907

25 Aug 2009

9 - Downloadable computer software for editing vector graphics

The window for renewing these trademark registrations is now open. The
renewals can be filed anytime between now and the final deadline of 25
Aug 2019, and there is also a six-month grace period for renewing. It
is, however, our suggestion that you renew it as soon as possible, in
order to have time to address any problems that might arise in the
renewal process.

To renew, we will need a "specimen" showing that the trademark is used
on the goods described above. We have attached a screenshot from your
website which we believe will be an acceptable specimen for renewal of
all three registrations.

Please let us know if you would like for us to proceed with renewing
these registrations with the attached specimen. The Trademark Office
renewal fee is $425 per registration ($1,275 total). If you have any
questions, please let us know.

Best regards,

Anne

Sorry I haven't replied earlier - on vacation this week with the fam...
weddings, waterparks, lots of car driving drama.

This is a very solid proposal and very well written, great job.  I
haven't had a chance yet to really digest it and understand all the
implications but this definitely sounds like something we should
consider adopting.  I'd love to see other people's thoughts on the
particulars, and maybe an example of how this might be put into
practice.  We should of course run it by Conservancy to make sure it
isn't going to run afoul of any rules on their end.  Also for parts of
the process that require some humans to do administrative stuff
(e.g. processing requests, reviewing adherance to requirements, handling
problems, etc.) we may want to brainstorm on how to staff that.

I'll try to follow up with more thoughts after other board members have
given their feedback on improvements to it.  Thanks again for doing
this, very thoroughly written.

Let's keep to the existing schedule, after all it may be useful if
there's last minute planning or arrangements needed.  Since I won't be
at the hackfest I'd prefer not to try to run the meeting during it.

Resolution:
---


Background:
---

As discussed in recent board meetings, we'd like to make this event more
convenient for a wider diversity of people, particularly including newer
members of our community and those who contribute to the project in
areas other than coding.  For past events we've used a ranked system
that establishes caps based on length of involvement and quantification
of contributions, which could potentially inhibit these two groups.
Instead, it is proposed that we use a simpler flat cap of $2000.

The Conservancy has asked to know the names and email addresses of
approved attendees.  Many people do not yet know for certain if they can
attend or if so for how long, but the list shows people who have
expressed that they *might* be able to attend.  This vote will authorize
travel reimbursement for the if they do choose to come.  Some of these
people are local, or will have travel paid for by other entities, or
will only need to travel within Europe, so we expect that most attendees
will require less than the $2000 cap.  The venue can comfortably hold 12
people, so we are trying to ensure we have about that number of
attendees.  We may want to recruit alternates if people on the above
list won't be able to come.  Thus the list of people should be
considered preliminary.

Resolution:

Individuals listed below are authorized for Kiel travel reimbursement
for $2000 each.  This covers transportation, lodging, and food costs
following the reimbursement rules specified by the Software
Conservancy.

The board will sponsor a dinner out for Hackfest attendees and their
guests for up to € 450 total.

Maren will ensure there are snacks and beverages, and procure other
incidentals as needed for attendees.  She will be reimbursed for up to a
total of 300 €.


Proposal:
-
1.  Travel Sponsorship to Kiel Germany.

 - [ ]  a.  Reimburse specific attendees listed below for up to a flat
amount of $2000 per person.
 - [ ]  b.  Reimburse using the ranked system used for the previous
hackfest in Boston.
 - [ ]  c.  Reimburse with open ended limits to extent permitted by
Software Conservancy policy.
 - [ ]  d.  Other: ___
 - [ ]  e.  No, do not fund.

2.  Board-sponsored Dinner.  The Inkscape Board will fund a dinner out
for Hackfest attendees and their guests.  An estimated 15 people
averaging 30 € each gives a budget of € 450.

 - [ ]  a.  Yes, for estimated cost of up to € 450.
 - [ ]  b.  Recommend a change:  ___
 - [ ]  c.  No, do not fund.

3.  Refreshments.  Maren will ensure there are snacks and beverages, and
procure other incidentals as needed for attendees.  An estimate of 
12 attendees * 5 days * 5 € suggests a budget of 300 €.

 - [ ]  a.  Authorize reimbursement of up to 300 € to Maren Hachmann for
snacks, beverages, and other incidentals relating to the
event hosting.
 - [ ]  b.  Authorize a different amount:  ___
 - [ ]  c.  Do not authorize reimbursement for refreshments

 - Mihaela Jurković 
 - Max Gaukler 
 - Krzysztof Kosiński 
 - Patrick "Ede_123" Storz 
 - Jürgen Weigert 

Email addresses for the above individuals are available from
Maren Hachmann .

Background:
---

As discussed in recent board meetings, we'd like to make this event more
convenient for a wider diversity of people, particularly including newer
members of our community and those who contribute to the project in
areas other than coding.  For past events we've used a ranked system
that establishes caps based on length of involvement and quantification
of contributions, which could potentially inhibit these two groups.
Instead, it is proposed that we use a simpler flat cap of $2000.

The Conservancy has asked to know the names and email addresses of
approved attendees.  Many people do not yet know for certain if they can
attend or if so for how long, but the list shows people who have
expressed that they *might* be able to attend.  This vote will authorize

people, so we are trying to ensure we have about that number of
attendees.  We may want to recruit alternates if people on the above
list won't be able to come.  Thus the list of people should be

1. Increase the pay to Ian Denhardt (zenhack) from $850 to $1275, which
is an increase of 50% or $425.

[ ] a.  Yes, increase Ian's pay for the work done.
[ ] b.  Do something else:

[ ] c.  Keep the pay at the original $850 amount.

Resolved:


Background:

When the work was originally quoted, the scope of the work was thought
to be at a certain level. The work has turned out to have taken more
time and more effort than intended, but this has produced a much more
reusable/scalable ansible installation than a single-host fixed setup
would have provided.

While Ian has not requested this extra, I believe that since he is
regretting his original quote we should offer a good faith improvement
in terms to make sure that his good work has been properly recompensed.
We are under no obligation to vote yes though.



For reference the text of the original mailman3 resolution was:

"""
Your vote is needed to coordinate the Conservancy with sys-admins and
rackspace to produce replacement mailing list infrastructure. This
mailing list will provide us a mailman3 backend, mailman3 frontend, a
forum that sits on top of the mailing list and migration from
sourceforge.

The goal is for us to strike out and make this system ourselves and
then invite other projects to share the machine with their own mailing
lists.

1.  Ask the conservancy to provide a rackspace machine instance where
mailman3 and it's front end can be run for our project AND other
conservancy and Free Software projects. -- Approved

2. Pay for Ian Dearheart (zenhack) to work on the mailman3 setup,
providing initial setup, configuration AND migration from sourceforge.
The cost of which will be $850 and be provisioned with one month of
support after the completion of the working mailman migration. -- Approved

The inkscape project currently uses the sourceforge mailing list. We
need to move. The mailman3 system not only provides a much better
interface for us, but also provides us with usable forums.
"""


As an additional note, Conservancy runs their own mailman service and
have offered to host our mailing lists on their HW.  However, they are
running an earlier version of mailman.

It's a good question but I haven't noticed activity on that.

[Inkscape-board] [REFERENDUM] Kiel hackfest 2018

Shall Inkscape hold a hackfest in Kiel, Germany in fall of 2018?

A detailed proposal for this event can be found at:
  http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2018_Kiel

Funding decisions for this event will be conducted in a separate vote
subsequently.


Proposal:

Resolution:

Background:
---
See http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2018_Kiel for the
details of the event.

We expect the cost to be on the order of what past events have run, in
so probably in the range of $5k-$15k total, consisting almost entirely
of travel and lodging costs, as venue and supplies costs are projected
to be modest.

For funding levels, we've discussed perhaps trying something different
than we've done traditionally, in order to facilitate broader
participation and to help motivate attendance by people newer to the
project or more tangentially involved, so we can benefit from their
perspectives and perhaps help tie them into the project more deeply.
We want a bit more time to think and discuss these ideas, and to get a
better feel for attendance levels, so will be holding off on voting
approval for travel sponsorship arrangements to a second vote after this
one to formally decide on holding the event in Kiel has passed.

[Inkscape-board] Future meetings/hackfests

[Bryce Harrington]

Summarizing the plans from the meeting today:


Fall 2018
  - Hackfest: Kiel, Germany (Maybe September?)
Coordinator: Maren

Spring 2019
  - SCALE: Pasadena, California (March 7-10)
Coordinator: Josh & Ted
  - LGM: Saarbrücken, Germany (May 30-June 3)
Coordinator: Tav

Fall 2019
  - Hackfest: TBD
Coordinator: TBD



For the Kiel hackfest, we'll need a proposal and a board vote.  Maren,
can you set up some pages in wiki; you can use the past hackfests for
reference.  What should the dates be?  When it's ready I'll send out the
vote.

Start also contacting people that might be interested in going.




For SCALE, probably worth doing wiki pages, if we're going to try and
stimulate attendance.  Josh and Ted, can you set these up?  If we have
enough people, should we also do a mini-hackfest for a couple days
before or after the event?




For LGM Saarbrücken, guessing we can probably do the same as for this
recent one.  Tav, mind setting up wiki pages for it?

Re: [Inkscape-board] [Fwd: Bronze Sponsor Request]

[Bryce Harrington]

Martin, by chance have you added nofollow on the existing sponsors?
If not that should probably get done soonish.

You started this thread on the 18th, proposing a new sponsor I guess you
wanted to add to the website.


> But honestly, I have no memory of nofollow 

You said at the hackfest you wanted to look at doing this for sponsors.
You don't remember that?

I had mentioned that the X.org Foundation board recently voted to add
nofollow to sponsor links in order to cut down on SEO-based requests.
There has gotten to be a bit of a minor industry by SEO optimizers
sponsoring non-profits for linkbacks; google nofollow if you want to
learn more.

Re: [Inkscape-board] [RESOLVED] Printed banner for technical events

SCALE, up to a total amount of $80.

 - [ ]  a.  Yes, fund the printing of the proposed banner
 - [ ]  b.  Recommend a change
 - [ ]  c.  No, do not fund.

Background:
---
The Vectors team is printing a hanging banner for Inkscape to be
displayed at technical conferences such as SCALE.  Ryan Gorley has taken
the lead on getting it designed and printed.  Similarly designed banners
will be created for other open source projects including GIMP, and
perhaps Darktable, Krita, Kdenlive, etc.

Previews of the final design can be seen here:

  https://gitlab.com/inkscape/vectors/general/issues/29#note_61420053

The cost estimate includes funding for the printing itself, the hardware
to hang it, and packaging as needed.  The labor for the design in the
amount of 30 hours is being sponsored by dijt.

The mailman3 work has been proceeding well, demo probably sometime
before the hackfest, and we can start thinking about formally migrating
over maybe April-ish.

[Inkscape-board] [REFERENDUM] Budget 2018 (v2)

[Bryce Harrington]

Re-posting budget for vote.  This version has additional money allocated
to Hackfests, as suggested by Tav.

---
A majority vote of the current board members is required for approving
this budget.


Proposal:
-

 Allocate budget for FY2018 (03/2018 - 03/2019) following past budgets,
 including allocations to funding pools for hackfest sponsorships,
 development funding, and Vectors team marketing outreach as before.

 |   | FY2017  | FY2017  | FY2017| FY2018 |Total   |
 | Funding Pool  | Balance | Income  | Expenses  | Allocation |Pool|

 | General Fund  |  $18414 | |  $1661.95 ||  $45732.29 |

 [ ]  a.  Adopt budget as shown above
 [ ]  b.  Revise budget with the following changes recommended:
  _
  _
 [ ]  c.  Do not establish a budget for this year


Background:
---

During FY2017 our total assets rose from $41,746 to $74,826, thanks to
generous donors and sponsors small and large who provided Inkscape with
$37,728.90 in income.  Our expenses in FY2017 were lower than in past
years, amounting to $4,648.80.

Our last hackfest came in well under budget.  We are looking at doing
two hackfests this year and expect about half a dozen sponsorships;
we are offering sponsorships totalling $10,000 but expect the actual
expenses to be smaller.

The new Vectors team is very active and will be attending SCALE and
other events.  They are planning use of their budget for printing of
handouts and signage for technical events.  This budget increases their
funding pool another $100.  The board will continue to review and
approve expenditures as normal.

FY2017 saw our first funded development work.  We hope to expand this
program in 2018 with more projects funded.

We added a new fund last year to help cover travel costs to non-hackfest
conferences and other technical events.  While this was not utilized
last year, we'll continue adding funds to it in hope it will be of value
going forward.

[Inkscape-board] [REFERENDUM] Budget for 2018

[Bryce Harrington]

A majority vote of the current board members is required for approving
this budget.


Proposal:
-

 Allocate budget for FY2018 (03/2018 - 03/2019) following past budgets,
 including allocations to funding pools for hackfest sponsorships,
 development funding, and Vectors team marketing outreach as before.

 |   | FY2017  | FY2017  | FY2017| FY2018 |Total   |
 | Funding Pool  | Balance | Income  | Expenses  | Allocation |Pool|
 |   | --- | --- |   | -- | -- |
 | + Hackfests   |  $15722 | $732.45 | $2,986.85 | +$5000 |  $18467.60 |
 | + SVG WG  |   $2010 | $416.11 | $0|+$0 |   $2426.11 |
 | + GSoC Travel | | |   ||  $0|
 | + Vectors |$100 |   $0| $0|  +$100 |$200|
 | + Projects|   $4500 | |   $750| +$2250 |   $6000|
 | + Conferences |   $1000 | |   | +$1000 |   $2000|
 | General Fund  |  $18414 | |  $1661.95 ||  $45732.29 |

 [ ]  a.  Adopt budget as shown above
 [ ]  b.  Revise budget with the following changes recommended:
  _
  _
 [ ]  c.  Do not establish a budget for this year


Background:
---

During FY2017 our total assets rose from $41,746 to $74,826, thanks to
generous donors and sponsors small and large who provided Inkscape with
$37,728.90 in income.  Our expenses in FY2017 were lower than in past
years, amounting to $4,648.80.

Our last hackfest came in well under budget.  We are looking at doing
two hackfests this year and expect about half a dozen sponsorships;
we are offering sponsorships totalling $10,000 but expect the actual
expenses to be smaller.

The new Vectors team is very active and will be attending SCALE and
other events.  They are planning use of their budget for printing of
handouts and signage for technical events.  This budget increases their
funding pool another $100.  The board will continue to review and
approve expenditures as normal.

FY2017 saw our first funded development work.  We hope to expand this
program in 2018 with more projects funded.

We added a new fund last year to help cover travel costs to non-hackfest
conferences and other technical events.  While this was not utilized
last year, we'll continue adding funds to it in hope it will be of value
going forward.

Re: [Inkscape-board] spreadshirt merch

[Bryce Harrington]

I attempted to log in to the spreadshirt account using the credentials
in the credentials repository but spreadshirt denies login with a
username/password error.

Martin, could you doublecheck that a) you can login to spreadshirt, and
b) that the password in credentials/spreadshirt.gpg in the repository
matches what you're using?

Thanks,
Bryce

You can send the credentials to me.  I've attached my gpg key in case
you don't have it on hand.

We do not have a Conservancy credit card, so we'll send recipts to you.
As I think I mentioned, we'll just use this for backup purposes so
potentially there'll never be charges for this.

Thanks again,

[Inkscape-board] [REFERENDUM] Hackfest attendance for Ryan Gorley

[Bryce Harrington]

A majority vote of the current board members is required for the
following matter.

Proposal:
-

Reimburse Ryan Gorley up to $1000 for travel expenses to attend the 2018
Inkscape Hackfest in Boston.

 - [ ] a. Yes, approve the reimbursement as stated above.
 - [ ] b. No, do not approve reimbursement as stated above.

|  |:--:|
| Bryce Harrington ||
| Josh Andler  ||
| Tavmjong Bah ||
| Ted Gould||
| Martin Owens ||
| Marc Jeanmougin  ||
| Chris Rogers ||

Resolution:
---


Background:
---

Ryan Gorley is lead for Inkscape's Vectors team, in which role he is
heavily involved in marketing, fundraising, and infrastructure
activities for the project.  He will be bringing camera equipment
(tripod, lighting, etc.) to the event for capturing interviews and audio
recording.  Due to this activity his attendance at the 2018 Hackfest in
Boston is vital to the project.  He is a relatively new member of
Inkscape (will be 11 months as of the date of the event), however, and
the types of contributions he makes are not directly measurable as
patches, so the established hackfest reimbursement rules do not cover
the expected expenses for his attendance.

His sponsorship was discussed at the Feb 2018 Inkscape Board meeting and
there was a rough consensus favoring holding a vote for sponsoring him.
Martin Owens has offered to share lodging, so Ryan's expected expenses
should total less than $1000, which is the allocation level we generally
provide for 1-year contributors.

Note, this resolution does not increase the budget for the hackfest nor
does it open up invitations to any other person without board consent.

[Inkscape-board] credentials repo moved to new location

[Bryce Harrington]

Just a quick note that the credentials repository has been moved, as
discussed last board meeting.

When we switched from bzr to git, the credentials repository was moved
over as a branch of the inkscape codebase.  Apart from being awkward it
also made it very slow to download (since it was downloading the
entirety of the inkscape code history, only to replace all the code with
the credentials stuff...)

Anyway, I exported the git history and imported it as a new project,
which will live here in its new permanent location:

  https://gitlab.com/inkscape/infra/credentials

I've also made this private to logged in Inkscape project team members
only.  No one outside our project should really need this so I think
that is appropriate.  Let me know if you run into problems, and I can
adjust permissions and things to improve convenience.


(You'll also notice I'm putting project internal service-ish stuff like
this into a subcategory 'infra'.  As we go through updating mailing
lists, wiki, forums and other such things we can use this to collect
random bits and pieces like service configs here.)

Bryce
